QUOTES
"I was really pleased to see our team make some in-game adjustments and execute those really well. I really thought we found some good puncture points to their defense with Lucy and Bella trying to be the aggressors and own the paint," said Coach Raegan Pebley post game. "But I don't want to single out too many individual players because I believe this was a collective team effort."
UP NEXT
TCU will continue their home stretch on Sunday, November 20, when they play host to South Florida as part of the Maggie Dixon Classic. Tip-off against the Bulls is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. inside Schollmaier Arena. Oklahoma and UT-Arlington will follow in the second game of the Maggie Dixon Classic at 3:30 p.m. All game will be televised on the Big 12 Now network and ESPN Plus.
